Many families in this bracket would gain access to Medicaid health coverage for the first time. This means free or low-cost doctor visits, prescriptions, and hospital care instead of going without or paying full price.
$30,000-$60,000
Some families at the lower end of this bracket could qualify for expanded Medicaid coverage. Others might still earn too much to qualify but would benefit from reduced hospital costs in their community.
$60,000-$100,000
Most families in this bracket would not qualify for Medicaid but could see lower hospital bills and emergency room costs as more people get regular health care.
Over $100,000
These families would not qualify for Medicaid and likely already have health insurance. The expansion would not directly change their household finances.

HB 316 is a Texas state bill that would expand Medicaid eligibility to all Texans who qualify under federal health law. The bill allows Texas to use federal matching funds from the Affordable Care Act. It would start January 1, 2026, if voters approve a related constitutional amendment. The bill requires annual reports on coverage and health care costs.
